9:00 o’clock in the morning and hot already. No way we are going down to see the ships. How ’bout Peggy’s Cove? We missed seeing it the first time we were here. Sounds like a good idea so let’s go. Through Halifax and over the MacKay Bridge without a hitch and it’s off to Peggy’s Cove we go. Peggy’s Cove is very picturesque and next to the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick, is probably the most photographed spot in Atlantic Canada.
I am coming to the conclusion that I don’t very much like travelling during the summer season because there are just too many people. It is much better in the early spring and fall when the crowds are smaller and you get to poke around almost on your own. Oh well, make the best of it. On our way back to Halifax we stop in several other little coves. You have to wonder why one place gets all the attention and these places have none.
We also have a great lunch at a very nice restaurant before our return to the big city. Tonight’s supper is lobster and we have been directed to Fisherman’s Cove to pick up the tasty little crustaceans. Peggy’s Cove was foggy, but here in Halifax the sun is just beaming and it is hot. 27C hot! By the time we get our supper, drive around this mall three times before we get the right road into the entrance and pick up the beer, we are just a little short with each other, that damn heat! So it’s back home we go and a refreshing and relaxing swim! Supper is just fantastic! I don’t know about Lynn, but I could eat these things at least once a week! We have yet to see the Citadel so that is the plan for tomorrow.
Have to chuckle at the picture of the seagull saying minemineminemine…
Also have to agree with you about doing the tourist thing on your own… Though, that being said if none of the tourist destination things are open because you’re the only ones there…that can defeat some of the purpose…Thank heaven for shoulder seasons.
